Global Land Coalition

.

Mission

The Global Land Coalition's primary objective is to combine classic land use theory with local requirements to produce custom solutions for each country. The Coalition's secondary objective is to train and support a cadre of local government, community and business leaders to ensure long-term substantial change. It is hoped that this organization will serve as an innovative way to connect a team of selected experts with key funding agencies and with leaders in developing countries that need improved land use policy, implementation, and training.

Areas of Expertise

The Global Land Coalition has broad experience with land-related projects in developing countries. Its expertise is concentrated in the following key categories: Policy Reform, Institutional Reform, Legal Reform, Land Use Planning, Land Information Systems, and Environmental Conservation.

The Coalition utilizes distance education and training technology to connect members in the resource team with leaders in the developing countries on an ongoing and cost-effective basis. This is particularly useful when the country has an unstable political environment that is not safe for contractors. Access to experts and continued training improves the chances for successful project outcomes. The Coalition has teamed with Stratford University to provide key elements of this technology, including an online multi-lingual course platform and selected peer-to-peer communication services.
